LOS ANGELES (AP) - "High School Musical 2" proved the Disney Channel can boast of more than a one-hit TV wonder.
Friday's premiere drew an estimated audience of 17.2 million, which would make it the most-watched basic cable program ever, according to Nielsen Media Research. It more than doubled the viewership of the first movie, "High School Musical," which drew 7.7 million in 2006.
The basic cable record had been held by a "Monday Night Football" game on ESPN in 2006, which was watched by 16 million.
"High School Musical" has become a cultural phenomenon with hit records, concerts and newly minted young stars including Ashley Tisdale and Zac Efron. The sequel followed the summer adventures of students Sharpay and Troy and their fellow Wildcats of East High.

Personally I blame DCD...
Thanks for sparing us another picture of you-know-who though!
Okay, I know my blog presence hasn't been what it was. I've had a lame-ass 9 to 5 job ever since the blog was created, and right now I've got an awesome free-lance gig that doesn't give me any time to blog. My point? I have no idea what all this High School Musical crap is, and I don't think I want to. I couldn't think of a comment to properly express the instant hatred I have for that cutie-pie kid.
It's called "High School Musical?" Have we finally just run out of movie titles? It sounds like it comes in a plain white box with black letters.
I like "Science Fiction Adventure" better. Or "Scary Movie." Whoops.
It's true - all my fault. Those jerks at Disney stole my idea!
